Say they stand in solidarity with brave people of IIOJK in their just struggle

RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Pakistan's Armed Forces on Saturday called out India for continuation of inhuman military lockdown and illegal measures to change the demographic structure of the occupied Kashmir. 

In a message on Youm-e-Istehsal, the ISPR said Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza, services chiefs and Armed Forces “stand in solidarity with the brave and resilient people of IIOJK in their just struggle for right to self-determination according to UN resolutions”. 

Continuation of inhuman military lockdown, illegal measures to change the demographic structure of the occupied territory and the gross and systematic transgressions of human rights are all manifest violations of international law, it said. 

“Such actions coupled with Indian government’s belligerent rhetoric and hostile actions continue to perpetuate humanitarian and security crises in IIOJK and pose a perpetual threat to regional security,” read the statement. 

“Resolution of Kashmir dispute according to UN Resolutions and aspirations of Kashmiri people is imperative for enduring peace and stability in the region.”

The ISPR said the Armed Forces paid rich tribute to the martyrs of IIOJK for their supreme sacrifices, and affirm full support of Pakistan for provision of political, moral and humanitarian support to Kashmiris in their just struggle against tyranny and illegal subjugation.
